When Jack has been on a fairly long walk he does hold his left leg up.

Do all dogs suffer from this or is it just Yorkies ?

I think i will take out insurance on Jack just to be on the safe side

Insurance may not cover it if it is considered "pre-existing", should it be LP, or anything else, as the date of onset was prior to the coverage date. But, he may just have strained his leg or something, too. Even if it is LP, your vet may decide it is not really severe enough for surgical reconstruction and just treat conservatively. Maybe just rest him until he gets his check-up.
