Pugs have breathing problems as do most of "man-made" breeds (i.e. dogs that are a product of deliberate cross-breeding by humans). "Man-made" breeds are easily recognizable because usually they don't have a snout (i.e. their nose is pushed against their face, e.g. pugs, bulldogs, etc.). "Original (primitive) dogs" (i.e. dogs that descent from wolves) have a proper snout (e.g. Siberian huskies, German Shepherds, etc.) Still, pugs are very cute, in a gremlin sort of way(;-). Best of luck to Hercules, but keep an eye on his breathing.

Hey C. I love my puppy's snout and his snoring.
