This is what the AKC website had to say about pug colors. This is the breed standard
Color
The colors are silver, apricot-fawn, or black. The silver or apricot-fawn colors should be decided so as to make the contrast complete between the color and the trace and the mask.
Markings
The markings are clearly defined. The muzzle or mask, ears, moles on cheeks, thumb mark or diamond on forehead, and the back trace should be as black as possible. The mask should be black. The more intense and well defined it is, the better. The trace is a black line extending from the occiput to the tail.
Since the AKC site does not mention a possible brindle coloring I would assume that a brindle colored dog is not a pure bred. It might have a very high pug ancestry percentage but somewhere in their history there is non pug.
However, if you don't care if it is AKC registerable- then go ahead. As long as you know that it is not pure. Personally I LOVE brindle coloring.

I did a search and here is one persons theory as to how the brindle pug came about: i personally love the brindle color :o)
my opinion: The Brindle PUG has just recently come into play. There are many idea's of how this beautiful, and stunning variety arrived, and came about. Many say that it just apeared, that breeders have been culling for years and that finally someone decided to try to register a brindle with AKC. Just as the black pug was thought of as a cull until fairly recently. But my theory is that the brindle pug came about as a cross years ago and many generations ago with another breed to bring in the brindle gene. Now what many people do not realize is that after several generations four or five you will have a genetic pug once again. All dog breeds are a result of crossbreeding and is how they came about., and many breeds have pugs in their linage. So to me introducing the gene is no different if the end result is a a genetic pug down the line...So after generations of breeding and breeding we now have a pure genetic pug once again...... Pugs many years ago had spots believe it or not. Careful selective breeding has limited the spots and now you can sometimes find spots on the chest or feet lingering from many generations ago. I do not have the evidence to back up my theory, but this is what I believe is the result of this variety. It is a beautiful and stunning color. My brindle , I am working with is AKC registered and her father is DNA tested. And is without a doubt a genetic pug. To register a pug as a Brindle there are steps you have to take. By sending in pictures also doing the DNA test through AKC ect..., But AKC has registered and does register brindle pugs as such. "MooShuEggroll" is as much PUG as any other PUG. And looks more like a pug than many out there that are registered as a pug by AKC. I am dabbling in this variety because I feel it is very stunning but I do not claim there orgin I just know they truly are beautiful and even more so in person...I only have one brindle at this time "MooShu" I feel sorry for those breeders with closed minds towards this beautiful new variety of pug . I know this is just my theory, I do not know for fact this is how they came about.

Pugs do not carry the gene for brindling and new genes do not just appear She IS awfully cute though!
Well, it is sad to say, but AKC registration does not neccessarily mean it is purebred. There are unscrupulous breeders out there.
Again, the brindle gene does not exist in PB Pugs.

The brindle gene is not a trait of a pug. A brinde pug is not a pure pug. It is not show quality and considered a flaw in the breed. Like white border collies, sometimes it happens, and the pup is usually not healthy.

that would be adorable, and unless you are planning on breeding it, I wouldn't worry about if its pure breed, Of course there are brindle's in ever breed of dog. why not the pug. (note some breeds don't call it brindle. Aussie's are called mural)
