I had a puppy like that almost 20 years ago. She was born with her head
tilted and would gait in circles so she stayed here. She eventually got
better and won BPs & finished quickly before age 2. Long term effects were
that she was cross eyed and she had certain parts of her body that were
hypersensitive to touch. She was not the brightest bulb in the box either so
I'm sure she had some brain damage. When she just turned 7, she had a series
of vestibular incidents and never recovered from the last one. (She was
never treated with flagyl). She never had puppies either although her
sister had large litters.
Sometimes the head tilt is an external sign that there's more issues going
on internally.

I might hang on to the puppy to see if it resolves Terry or if the puppy
will be a "special needs" puppy and if so, just how well it gets around.
Hope the info helps.
