I just got a 16 week old pug and he is just a little doll, but I don't know how often to feed him, breeding standards, etc. I'm used to shepherds, not pugs so this is a new venue for me. I just want to be ready when the time comes for him to breed. Also, what would be a good stud fee for him? He is a faun pug.

Stud fees are going to be based on the value of your dog.
That would be determined by how many and what titles he earns.
You are going to need to have some testing done on him before offering him for stud and most people are going to want to see what his ranking is and what titles he holds before using him.
Also you are going to need to show him some to see how well he fits the breed standards and get some points on him to tell if he is good enough quality to breed.

If you don't even know the standard, how do you know if he is stud dog quality???
Stud dogs are available to all, and are suppose to be the very best of the breed. If he is stud dog quality, he must have been bought as a show prospect from a good show breeder, why don't you ask her for advice?

The breeder you got the puppy from is going to be the best resource for these kinds of questions. A reputable breeder would have sold you a puppy with the knowledge that you intended to breed and would be wiling to guide you thru the process as well as help you get involved in the proper circles of other breeders for you to connect with in search of the appropriate match for your dog.
If your breeder is not able or willing to do this, then I would seriously question if it would even be appropriate to do it in this case.

You're planning on breeding a dog that you have no clue about the breed standards not to mention you don't even know what to feed him? PLEASE return this pup to its breeder and do a LOT of research.

DON NOT BE A BACKYARD BREEDER. YOU WANT TO BE A PUPPY MILL, AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO READ A PUPPY FOOD BAG?
