Can I adopt a pug into a household with two German shepherds?
My family and I are the proud owner of our two beautiful angels, Daisy(8 years) and Dalmi(5 years). Both of them are German shepherds. Dalmi is Daisy's daughter. They are friendly with people and especially with kids but they are ferocious to cats and the people who are scared of them. They have not bitten anyone yet though. Now, my mother and sister wants to adopt a pug, but some people are saying not to include a pug into a household with two German shepherds.
Do German shepherds not like pugs? Am I able to bring a pug into our family.

No.
There isn't any breed that isn't able to get along with any other breed. For example, there's no rule that says pugs cannot get along with shepherds.
The real issue is one of temperament, as @James Jenkins suggested, and of trainer skill level, and a question of whether the dog is a good match for its owner and family. For example, a dog with extremely high energy levels is a terrible match for a very laid back family that is lazy and does not want to go on walks.
With three dogs, it's faster for things to go from calm to chaos, and identifying those signals and knowing the dogs is where trainer skill comes in.
It's best to give everyone a trial run (not inside any dog's territory) and carefully observe if the dogs will get along and if they are a good match for one another.
