From what I have learned, 1 pound is not much of a difference. Alot of people always think they have to have a male that is smaller, this is not always true. The important thing is that the male either throws small pups or the female has a wide enough birth canal. Some tiny males who are much smaller than the females throw big puppies and the female will have to get a C-section. It all depends on if you know your male's history. So 1 pound is not a big difference and some breeders here even have males that are 1 to 2 pounds or slightly bigger then the female and have had no problems with the females delivering puppies.
