A puppy can change a lot in a week. The muzzle and facial features do start start changing a lot between 6 weeks and 12 weeks. The only way you would know for sure would be to go see the other puppy if it means that much too you. I do hope you love your new puppy with all your heart regardless of her size.
I agree with what bjh stated, also, just wanted to mention as well that the "charts" are really just a guide. I've never had them be correct for my pups. I have very healthy "chubby" pups LOL, mine most top the charts and then end up 3 lbs. So I always let ppl know not to think the charts are bible.

I would hope that your breeder was honest. I can't imagine doing that to someone. I hope all ends well! Take care and congrats on your new baby!!!
