This is just an excerpt from Orthopedic Foundation for Animals' website to get you started.

Note that it states "patellar luxation should be considered an inherited disease."  If you are a breeder you should be extra careful and check for possible patellar problems in the line you want to breed to and hope that you are dealing with other honest breeders!

You can read all about patellar problems at Orthopedic Foundation for Animal's website:
