I agree completely with the above.
while it is understandable that you would think it fun to produce some cute puppies, it is actually a terrible idea to breed dogs of any kind, especially those with multiple possible inheritable health issues, unless you are extremely well versed in what to do, and how.
Do you know all of the things that can go wrong with a pregnant mother dog and how to spot them and which are emergencies? (there are a great deal of things that can go wrong....far more than you would think)
Do you know all of the things that can go wrong during birth and how to spot them and name them and what to do and which ones constitute emergencies for the mother, the puppy, or the whole litter and the mother?
Do you have veterinary experience, or a vet or vet tech that can be standing by while the puppies are being born even if it is in the middle of the night, so that you do not end up with dead dogs?
Are you willing to risk your dog's health and life just to make some cute puppies that you could probably find in a shelter or rescue without risking your dog?
If you cannot answer all of those questions with YES, then it is very dangerous and inadvisable for you to proceed with this.
If you love your female dog, don't subject her to this. Pugs frequently have serious breathing problems, can stop breathing during the birth process, and often require a C-section birth due to their brachiocephalic structure.
Just wanting a few cute puppies is not a good enough reason to take all of these chances. And, by the way, it is not true that small dogs always have small litters.
