Default Need luxating patella information, please

I had my boy at the vet yesterday for a routine examination and his knee was out. I am a breeder and have had his knees checked yearly, by OFA procedure, and they have always been normal before. I have never seen him limp or shake out his leg. He will soon be 6 years old. What are your thoughts on this? Genetic vs. injury? I have his daughter and her knees are normal as well.
Anyways, I am curious as to your thoughts on how common LP is in yorkies. Is the groove just shallow due to the size of their bones. I have spoken in the past to a VERY reputable Canadian breeder (won't mention who),who told me that she does not reject a dog from her breeding program with grade 1 or 2, just breeds to a dog with very good knees.
Thanks for reading and for your help.
