One question you need to answer for yourself is what is your intended purpose for the dog? Do you intend to breed the dog? Do you intend to show,trial, or compete the dog? If you're just looking for a nice pet and companion I think you'll be fine. If you were intending to breed in the future it would be more of a concern.
Hip Displaysia can lead to future issue, and unfortunately you can't get the X-ray done on your puppy for quite awhile. If you have no intention of breeding in the future, I would just look at the stride mechanics of both parents. Look for a neutral gait, action in the hind quarter. Stand behind them and observe how the track to see if they "crab" one way or the other.
That your breeder was honest with you about the parents ratings is a plus, and something to keep in mind.
