Lameness means the dog has a lame leg either from birth or has injured it. It's best to have a vet look at it because if it is a problem for the dog in many cases it can be fixed. I have a little 15 lb. male Cockapoo that has a slightly twisted hind right leg and in both knee joints there is a pop. The vet has said to leave it for not, but my husband and I are stashing some money aside to have surgery done in another year.

They are just different degrees of the same thing. Tenderness is 'a little touchy' and may have some swelling or puffiness.

Lameness is usually more easily observed at the trot, and will help you locate the exact leg or hoof where the trouble is.
