IMO.. my objective would not be to start every pup in the litter, rather to have the whole litter to evaluate the breeding and have the cream to work with. That can start at 2-3 weeks old with plain old observation. Progressively give them opportunity a.d test to continue your evaluation based on your own criteria. I would not even attempt to test each individually until i had skimmed the cream down to 2 maybe 3 pups before their ever old enough to keep up with old dogs. As far as commitment of time, pups have next to no attention span to start with, a hour an evening is gonna give a guy a very good idea of natural attributes of each pup. If a guy has has clear goal set it should be pretty easy to see who doesn't make the grade and who consistently outshines with regards to your objective.
