A Papillon can get along with any dog breed as long as there is not a large weight difference between the two of them. Papillons as you have probably noticed are rather delicate. (They certainly do not think so and will say that I am lying) They are very intelligent however when it comes to housebreaking they might take a while in general. Most breeders recommend litterbox training, if you can believe that. Papillons are not generally yappy, they are actually fairly quiet but will alert you when there are visitors at the door. A properly socialized Papillon will not be agressive they are in fact quite friendly and outgoing. A few other things they can offer the family is entertainment since they are so intelligent they will keep you on your toes. I am ashamed to admit this but my Paps have managed to pull the wool over my eyes more than once. They make great companion dogs and will follow you endless around the apartment. They can also be as active as you want them to be. Papillons are what I call a jack of all trades. They can be service dogs, therapy dogs, search and rescue dogs, agility dogs, flyball. You name it and they will do it.
To answer your question, they are great with pugs but just to warn you, the Pap will outsmart your pug.
I think a Papillon would be just fine with a Pug. I have 3 Papillons, including a 6 month old puppy, and 2 Gordon Setters, at about 80 lbs each. You should see the puppy and the Setters play! she wrestles with them, she runs with them, she tugs on their fur. She is a tough little girl and loves it!
A Pug would be just fine!
