My 1 year old dog is limping on right rear leg. No known injury, seems to be not as bad once she gets moving. Can't feel any tenderness. Seems to be worse after laying on it or when she goes down the steps, does not want to put weight on it

If this lameness had a sudden onset and she is non-weight bearing, she could have injured her cruciate ligament (her ACL). However, hip dysplasia is also a concern. She will need to be seen by your vet and x-rays can tell the difference. She will need to be put under anesthesia to obtain proper x-rays and to have her cruciate ligament examined.
