Is it too late to bring up the fact that I am upset to have a dog that was supposedly bred from a 6-lb mother and a 5-lb father come out to be THREE times the size of the mother?
..... I'm almost wanting two Tuckers for the price I paid for him. I like having a sturdy, sporty dog so a "yorkie" the size of Tucker might not be a bad idea as a second dog.
Would it be wrong for me to ask for some kind of discount on the next "large" pup she has? Would it be wrong to simply voice my issues with her service?

I would definately contact the breeder. I would probably want her to see your Tucker. She needs to be made aware that one of her puppies turned out so far above standard. If she knows this has happened before, then she should not breed those two together again.
As far as giving you a discount on the next "large" puppy... that would be up to her. I know I would feel obligated to do something to even things up a bit if I had sold a dog that had turned out far from standard, but she won't be legally obligated to discount the next one. It can't hurt to ask though. I am glad Tucker turned out to be such a great pet!
