Seizures can be cause by a plethoria of problems, and nobody has mentioned two 
of the leading 
causes: low blood sugar and low calcium

Other causes include exposure to lead, chocolate, flea and tick sprays and 
repellents, snail bait
And there is lymes disease, rocky moutnain spotted feve, liver problems, food 
allergy

Then there many types of seizures:
1. Generalized (grand,petit mal and tonic)
2. partial and focal
3. Status

A seizure can be a problem itself or indicative of an underlying problem

Many years back, several people bred to a particular local stud, and each had 
bitches from 
different lines.  In 3 different rbeedings, each bitch produced at least 50-80% 
of a litter with 
seizures at 2 years years.  All 3 bitches bred to a different stud, no no 
cases, in prior breedings.

We have no idea how genetic seizures are transmitted

Two of the three bitches had CHIC numbers.

All any breeder can do is try to inimize problems with available testing, 
pedigree studying, etc
You still roll the dice, and sometimes it comes up snake eyes

The more you breed, the more problems arise.

But the more we learn, the better breeders we become
