I agree that LP is often genetic, but it also can be caused or aggravated by injury. To prevent injury, you can try to prevent your pup from jumping from things. I used a ramp to get on and off the bed and I also had something for my girls to get off and on the couch. My first Yorkie had problems with LP, so I probably was a little more overprotective of my three Yorkies that I had after her. I did a lot of exercise and walking with them, and luckily their knees were great.
