pup has heart murmur

We finally picked up my son's puppy from the breeder. At Riley's first vet check-up (the next day) the vet heard a heart murmur. The pup is 8 weeks old. I purchased a pup from this breeder as she could produce multi-generational health clearances including SAS. She also claimed to study the health issues that frequented certain lines and only breed to lines that didn't carry consistent health issues (like cancer). So how concerned should we be and should we notify the breeder?? Is this something common in puppies and if so, do they normally outgrow it? Returning the pup is not an option...my son and his wife are in love with her.
