I don't want to embarrass myself by contacting one of the handlers. Can anyone tell me *about* how much it would be to send my girl to Florida for all the shows?

Would $3000 be about right?

yes, and money not well spent

Shipping 400each way 800
Handling differs
Who do you want to hire?

Is this to send her on the Florida Panhandle Circuit? If so, I sent one of mine last year. It cost about 2,000.00 for the handler expenses and all the shows. No shipping involved the handler was local and took the dog to the shows in their truck.
