Sad Luxating Patellas???? Not sure

Ok, I just followed the link in another post to the medical probs that can be found in yorkies and as I was reading I got kinda nervous. It said:
Quote:
Suspect luxating patella if your Yorkie sometimes lifts one hind leg while she is running, or if she often moves both rear legs at the same time, like a hopping bunny.
This seems to be the only way my puppy runs. Is this normal at a younger age? Or is it a sign of luxating patellas? She mostly hops like a bunny but sometimes will "trot" normally. So worried now.... I have an appt. on Monday with vet but still this concerns me now.

At this time I have no interests in breeding her but I can't promise I may not have a litter with her depending on her size later for some more furbabies around the house. (Not to sell!) But if this is a condition of her I wouldn't feel right having any litters.
