Go and see a Vet Cardiologist. They can do a doppler,Echo,Ultrasound...which ever one they decide...to tell you the exact problem and the extent to which the dog will be effected. Some murmurs are termed "innocent" and will resolve as the puppy grows. Others may still be present, but a grade 1 murmur may not cause any problem for the dog and an average life can be had.
The murmur has to be graded and the exact probelm found to tell you anything.

No, a murmur means something is not working as it would in a normal heart. It could be minor or major, and depends on what it is exactly to be able to answer how it will affect life expectancy. If your vet does not have the means to do further testing, ask him for a refferal to a vet heart specialist or a veterinary college nearby with the proper testing equipment for more definative answers, and to find if surgery or medication will be needed. Good luck!

I am with Piper on this. We had a bull terrier that had a congenital heart murmur. A vet discovered it when she was about 1 year old. The only kind of exercise we did not do with her was anything that 'forced' her to keep going such as running behind a bike. She accompanied us on walks and even pulled a small cart from time to time. She lived to be 12 years old. She was an energetic and lively family pet to the day she died in her sleep.
If you have already bought the pup please see your vet. If you have not bought the pup, keep looking for a healthy one.

No, heart problems are not one to watch out for in this breed. Their problems are usually respiratory, hypothyroidism, corneal problems and even some deafness. No one can tell you anything about the severity of your puppy's heart murmur except your vet. He can tell you the grade of the heart murmur and advise you how best to care for your puppy. Best of luck!

We often see hypothyroid symptoms totally reversed when commits to a plan that supports balance through nutrition and daily self-care. Learn here https://tr.im/t77nD
Consume foods naturally high in B vitamins, such as whole grains, nuts, and seeds, and iodine (fish, seaweed, vegetables and root vegetables).
Exercise daily, at least 30–60 minutes per day, 4–5 times a week.
Practice deep breathing and other techniques that trigger the “relaxation response” – such as meditation and guided visualization.

No, it's not normal, unfortunately it is not all that uncommon. As for life expectance, only the vet can tell you. Some murmers are mild and resolve themselves as the pup grows. Some require surgery, and some are just not fixable. Good luck, hope your pup has the first kind.
