Health-tested parents. Good Pembroke Welsh Corgi breeders test for hips, an eye exam and a DNA test for degenerative myelopathy; tested and titled parents usually mean a higher price.
Color, coat and size. Pembroke Welsh Corgi breeders also advertise fluffy corgi; these are often priced differently from the standard Corgi.
Registration. Pet puppies usually come with limited registration; breeding rights cost more.
