Is epilepsy a hereditary trait that can be ped down in dogs?

I have a pure breed dachshund male of good stock that I am considering having bred. He does have occasional seizures and was given the generic diagnosis of epilepsy. His seizures are rare and very mild. I do wonder if his tendency to have seizures is a trait that could possibly be ped onto to his pups, should we have him bred. Does anyone know about this?
