The parents are heterozygous. Only then there is a possibility that parents themselves are not exhibiting the trait but two of their progeny are. Two recessive alleles have to come together to express phenotypically.

All males will be affected, if it is Y-linked.

If both parents are homozygous dominant, all the children would have been affected.
