The best way to recognize when your female dog has her first heat cycle is to spot the drops of blood that will come from her rear. Her female parts will also appear swollen.
Female dogs typically go into heat twice a year, with each heat cycle lasting about 2-4 weeks. Breeding is usually recommended after the first week of the heat cycle when the female is most fertile. Therefore, you can breed a dog around 7-14 days into her heat cycle.

A female dog's heat cycle or estrus typically lasts around 2-4 weeks. This cycle is divided into four stages: proestrus, estrus, diestrus, and anestrus. During the estrus stage, which is when she is fertile, the female dog may actively seek out males for breeding.
Female mules typically do not have a regular heat cycle like mares. They are usually infertile due to the mismatched number of chromosomes from their horse and donkey parents.
She may go into heat as early as 5-6 months of age. Seriously considering spaying her before her first heat cycle to help avoid mammary tumors(breast cancer) and pyometra (dangerous and often life threatening uterine infection). With so many dogs already being euthanized in pounds and shelters, why create more?
The first heat cycle for a female dog would be between 6-24 months. If she doesn't have her first cycle by then, you take a trip to the vet. And it doesn't necessarily matter what kind of dog it is to have a certain heat cycle. Hope this helps!
There is no reason to give a female dog medications for a first heat. Having a heat cycle is a normal thing for a female dog. If you are not going to breed her, then have her spayed as soon as she is out of heat. She will live a longer and healthier life. Cut down her risks of mammary tumors, uterine infections, perianal tumors, etc.

Female dogs of all breeds have menses (called the "heat cycle", or estrus) twice a year on average starting at around 7-10 months of age. A female dog will gain the most in health benefits if they are spayed before they have their first heat cycle.
A female dog (of any breed) first goes into heat sometime around the 6th,7th, or 8th month of age. There's no way to predict when. For this reason, it's best to have a female dog spayed before her 6th month of age. Female dogs get significant health benefits when they're spayed before the onset of their first heat cycle.
I will assume you are talking about the dog's heat cycle. A female dog does not have a menopause, as people do. Their cycles continue their entire life, though in it's elder years the cycle can become less predictable as to when it occurs. A female dog no matter it's age can become pregnant, but that doesn't mean it's healthy for an older dog! This is why female dogs need to be spayed, preferably before the onset of their first heat cycle.
No. Only a male can impregnate a female. No female mammal of any species can get another female pregnant. For mammals that have a "heat" cycle, being in "heat" is required for pregnancy by a male. If such a mammal (a dog for instance) is not in heat or doesn't have a male partner, pregnancy is not possible.
Female rabbits don't go into heat. Ovulation in rabbits is triggered by fornication, so they don't have a menstrual cycle.

A donkey's heat cycle can vary since no two donkeys are the same. However, the average heat cycle tends to be anywhere between 23 and 30 days.
