Why are you looking to breed your dog? Has he been proen to meet the breed standard via conformation shows? Has he been tested for congenital defects common to the breed? Pugs are prone to slipping kneecaps and that will require xrays and OFA certification, and that cannot be done until the dog is two years of age. There are ample homeless dogs out there (yes, even Pugs) and far too many pugs with major health issues to be breeding just for the sake of breeding.
AFTER he has been proven in shows, and tested against congenital defects, then you can be in contact with reputable breeders (who you will meet via dogshows) who might want to use your male. But no reputable breeder will want offer their female to an unproven male.
If you aren't willing to do the above, then I'd neuter your boy. He'll still be a great pet :)

I kinda agree with the previous answer except I do not believe a show dog is the end all be all of what to breed. If you have enough time you can probably Champion your dog, titles are not a big deal. I would just ask you what your reasons for breeding are and I agree that you should have the x-rays and health checks on both adults before breeding them.
If you just need a friend for your male then I would look into shelters and pug rescues. To find the best breeding partner you'll have to find a kennel who has a female available that meets your criteria.
