Default Mosquito magnet

OK this is not really a canine behavior problem but in the
absence of a rec.pet.mosquitoes.behavior newsgroup I'll ask
it here.

In mosquito season our Anatolian
(http://kanyak.com/utd/utd.html) is a mosquito magnet.
Mosquitoes cluster about him like stars around a local
center of attraction. Kanyak, a Dobe mix, on the other hand
has no such problems. As far as mosquitoes are concerned,
he's invisible.

The really weird thing is that the mosquitoes don't go for
Urger's nose or other exposed bits. They settle instead on
his back and haunches, but particularly on his mane, where
his coat is thickest and where it's easiest to pound them
into oblivion.

What's going on here?

The mosquitos just like him. I have been to Italy with 6 other people
and *I* am the only one to get bitten, and I attract them in huge
numbers, and have bad allergic reactions to them to boot!

Make sure your dogs is non HW preventative of course, and some natural
bug repellants (like Avon Skin So Soft) MAY help.
