If he has his heart set on getting another pug, maybe you could talk to him about getting a juvenile from a breeder or a pug rescue group. That way you get one that is already housebroken, hopefully settled down a little, and he gets his pug. If he agrees to wait until the baby is a little older, then maybe you look at puppies, but if he was set on now, it would have to be an older, housebroken, dog. That would be the route I would go with my husband. I know the day will come when he wants another springer spaniel. I just don't want to deal with the puppy stage, so it will have to be an adult. Men and their dream breeds. Of course the fact that I wanted an IW, pyr and TM and have them, doesn't enter into the equation at all. LOL
