Can I clip the feathering and underside of my cavalier poodle cross?

Honey is a 3y/o cavi poodle cross, but it seems she's inherited more on the cavi side since her coat is identical to a pure bred cavi and she sheds like crazy. Her coat has only recently grown out to a long length, prior to this she was quite shorthaired so I didn't feel the need to take her to the groomers. I want to keep her top coat length the same bc I know there is a lot of contention about not shaving cavis and maintaing their double coat. I'm wondering if it's ok to clip (using a long length guard) just her feathering, underside and butt curtains for hygiene reasons. I know many people trim these areas with scissors, so I can't see any difference in clipping with a long length guard. Please let me know what you think.
