Yes they do but the correct term in the animal world is heat it is the same thing but in humans it is known as a Period.
Of course, but dogs don't have a monthly cycle. The only time a female is receptive to the male is when the female is in heat. DON'T over-breed or you'll have many more deficient pups that need to be put down.

Typically, a German Shepherd Dog can manage 2-3 litters annually. Our kennel limits them to ONCE, or on rare occasion twice a year. Otherwise, you're running a puppy mill with horrible stress on the female which significantly reduces life span.
