Yes. I think you may be thinking of a mule or a hinny. The hinny is the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey and a mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. Both the mule and hinny are sterile.

A male donkey is called a jack. A female donkey is called a jennet or jenny. When a female horse and a male donkey mate, the resulting offspring is called a ‘mule’. When a male horse and a female donkey mate, the offspring is called a ‘hinny’. When a male zebra and a female donkey mate the offspring is called a ‘zedonk’ or ‘zebrass’. All of these resulting offspring are sterile, i.e. they cannot produce offspring themselves. Donkey’s milk was once valued as a medicine and was given to premature babies and sick children and to people suffering from tuberculosis. Donkey’s milk contains more sugar and protein than cow’s milk and less fat. In Southern Spain there is a ‘giant’ pure breed of donkey called the ‘Andalucian-Cordobesan’, which can reach up to 16 hands high, that’s as big as a racehorse! Unfortunately this donkey species is in danger of extinction; a survey in 2000 by the University of Cordobain estimated that there are probably as few as 150 Andalucians left. Donkeys were first domesticated around 4500 years ago and, at one time were a status symbol of their owners’ wealth, rather like a Rolls Royce is today. The donkey’s characteristic ‘Eee awe’ sound is made by an intake of breadth followed instantly by exhalation.

Yes, however a Mule can't reproduce because a Mule is cross between a horse and a donkey.

Yes. But if the donkey gets with a horse they create a mule.
If Mr. and Mrs. donkey couldn't reproduce where would baby donkey come from?

Male and female donkeys produce offspring. It is the hybrid mule of a male donkey and female horse that is unable to reproduce(they are sterile).

A female and male donkey can mate and reproduce. If a horse and donkey mate, a mule is produced, and two mules cannot reproduce.

Yes.
You may be thinking of Mules which are a cross between Donkeys and Horses. They are mostly sterile and seldom reproduce.
