I don't have a pug but have met a lot with nice personalities. You can find a breed description here: http://www.akc.org/breeds/pug/index.cfm

If you can, try to work with a Pug rescue (or an all breed rescue that has a Pug). There is a state-by-state list of Pug rescues here: http://www.pugrescue.com/

Small dogs tend to be the most common victims of the puppy mill industry. If you adopt a dog, you can be certain you are not supporting such cruelty. If you're not familiar, just google puppy mills, but be ready for an upsetting experience. Also, a juvenile or adult dog (as opposed to a puppy) that has been evaluated by a rescue will be less likely to surprise you with significant health problems associated with puppy mill dogs.

If you must buy rather than adopt, find a reputable breeder - NOT one of the stores that sells puppies in the mall or an ad from the paper.

Good luck!
