bichon size

I am purchasing a bichon and have two options. The breeder has two available from the same litter. She has a growth chart to estimate their adult size. One has a 7 lb estimate and the other a 9 lb estimate. My wife wants a smaller one, but I am concerned about possible health issues with one that small (they are only 5 weeks old now-picking them up at 7-8 weeks from breeder). Are there more health concerns with smaller bichon\'s within the breed or litter? P.S. I have to choose one before 5pm EST because someone is coming to pick/purchase one at 5:30 pm. I would prefer to have the first choice. Thanks you in advance for your quick replies.
