When it's hereditary, it's often noticeable the first year, even as young as 12 weeks, and surgery will eventually be needed. It can be caused through trauma, but you are not as likely to see a severe case so young. If there are no signs by the age of 2 Roxie parents didn't pass the fault to her, but she can still be injured so keep up the good work, and don't let her jump off things! Not every case is completely clear what caused it, but many are.
