Opinions on Logo?

[ChowChi-Ching]

I was wondering if I could get some opinions on my logo? I have heard some good and some bad about it but I thought I would ask the "professionals" what they thought. lol
I created this in CorelDraw but when I converted it to a jpg(for upload to photobucket) it pushed the border closer then it should be, so try to ignore that part! lol

All opinions appreciated! Thanks!

I'm not one of the professionals, but I like it.

No problem here. One thing though--have you tried it with different colors against the black background?

I haven't but I think I might do that. I love black and gold together and that is why I went with those two but I will play a bit and see if I like any other combinations.

dmm, lol I was just joking about the professionals. I have also posted this on some pet forums that I am a member of, by professionals, I meant more just "picture people" LOL Thank you for your comments!
