I would be more concerned about his tiny size and letting him go to a new owner at such a small size. Watch for hypoglycemia and hopefully, he isn't small because there is a bad health issue. Often that can be the case in one so tiny.
I would never let a puppy go to a new home less than 2 1/2 lbs.
Now that your girlfriend has him, she will have to be diligent, he can't be left alone for long, must make sure he is eating and not over playing if he does play. He also should not be carted around in a purse, too stressful for such a tiny dog.
And get him into a good Vet familiar with toy breeds at the first sign of a problem.
