Typically, female dogs can be bred on days 9-14 after the start of their cycle. Since it can be very difficult to know the very first day of the cycle, I would recommend progesterone testing with a vet to know the appropriate timing. Alternatively, you can allow the male to breed her when he is ready, since they often know the perfect time.
