Default Patellar Luxation

Hi,
My name is Joy and I'm new to Yorkie Talk. My yorkie "Jimathy" just turned a yr old I just found out that he has grade III/'VI Patellar Luxation in his left hind leg and I/VI Pat. Lux.in his right hind leg . I'm told this is a hereditary. When I call the person whom I bought Jimathy from I was told he didn't get if from his dogs. simply because he had sold 4 other litters from the same dogs and nothing has been said to him from other buyers. Is this hereditary ? and can the breeding dogs have other litters w/o having Patellar Luxation? I'm just heart brolen over this, the person whom I bought Jimathy from offer to pay for his neutering, wasn't that nice of him I am open for some help about what I can do . I don;t think he should sell Yorkies if he is passing this gene on.
