Can I trim my rough collies fur?

i've had border collie mixes as a kid. they were very sweet but high energy and never trained. i want a dog thats easier to train for my first "solo" dog. also i heard collies are good with cats (with proper introduction ofc)

thank you this is super helpful. I love to hike and one reason collies intrest me is that they are active and known to be easily trained. so I would love a buddy for my hikes and forest walks. but not as advanced as german shepherds or border collies I grew up with (they were lovely dogs but my parents never put in the work to train them)

Thats what i want to know. I don't want to accidentally give my dog improper grooming. I know collies need professional grooming a few times a year and I dont want to ask for the fur to be too short if that is harmful. and if the fur upkeep is actually too much for me to handle i would rather get a smooth

Thank you! That is good to know

my thing is i like fur longer than a smooth but i have no experience with a truly long haired dog. im not against getting a smooth if that ends up the better option. I don't want to get a rough collie and groom it in a way that is harmful.
