I did go through a similar thing with Nanuq my youngest, i was convinced her hips were dodgy and she had a paculiar rear gait too, at 9mths the vets watched her walk and examined her, On walking they shared my concerns, on physical exam there was nothing glaringly obvious. I had her X rayed when she was spayed at a year and her hips are fine. So try not to think the worst yet.
X rays are the only way, and if she has got luxating patellas which there is varying degrees of anyway, maybe thats making it appear there is a hip problem too.
