People who breed Pugs fall into 2 categories: small and large. You will want to go with a smaller breeder. The majority of large breeders are actually Puppy Mills owners.
A Puppy Mill is a factory in which dogs are treated as if they are not living creatures. The female Pug dogs are forced to give birth over and over again until they die. Laws allow these breeders to place dogs in cages so small, most allow 3 inches of room above the head. Mandated exercise, by law, can be when the dogs turn around in their cages. Never buy from a large breeder, doing so will allow them to continue on.

- State how often they will breed a single female. Do they limit breeding to every other year?

Make sure the area is clean, dogs look happy and healthy and that the owner of the breeding business has papers for all of their dogs.
