What is the genotype of the father?

Based on our knowledge of genetics, I can decipher the genotype of the father of the puppies. From the picture, we can tell that the mother has yellow fur, brown nose, and possibly brown eyes, meaning that her genotype is eebb (recessive). The puppies in the pictures have black and brown fur, brown and black ears, brown and black noses, and possibly brown eyes. Based on these phenotypes of the puppies, the father's genotype is most likely EEBb.

The genotype for the puppies are eight EeBb (black lab- phenotype) and eight Eebb (chocolate lab- phenotype).
