No it doesn't happen to all Chihuahuas but a lot, certainly here in the UK seem to be prone to it. Not allowing your Chihuahua to jump off furniture is a good idea, but some Chi's are born with the structural problem.

Not all Chihuahuas that develop a patella luxation will need surgery, depends on the severity.
