What to know before adopting an 8-week-old puppy who had a seizure?

Question

Can my puppy have a seizure if he is 8 weeks old? Because I want to adopt a pit bull puppy and the owner said he has had 1 seizure and that he is probably epileptic. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 28 days old | 8 lbs

It is not a good idea to get this puppy. When puppies are this young and already having seizures, usually it is usually due to an underlying congenital problem like with the brain, liver, kidneys, etc. It is probably not just epilepsy.
