All breeds are related, but I assume you mean more closely related..
I'm not sure about how close they are with the pug , but I know that the pekignese is most closely related to the shi tzuThat's because in the early 1900's, shi tzus started to look more and more like lhasa apsos, and so breeders started breeding them with pekigneses to make their faces flatter.
