A breeder that has a dog's hips evaluated is going to extra lengths to ensure the dog is healthy and doesn't have any genetic faults. These dogs are typically more expensive since they are usually health guaranteed.
A responsible breeder will have these health checks done, and a back-yard breeder will not. The responsible breeder's dogs will be healthier, and more expensive. The back-yard breeder does not health checks, and will sell puppies for less money.
However, just because a dog is more expensive, doesn't mean that the dog has good hips. Before purchasing any dog, ask the breeder for hip certification on the parents. Also ask for certification on the eyes and elbows. If these are not available, reconsider buying the dog, since there is no guarantee that the hips will be good.
