If Shadow only growls (and probably does the lip-lifting
thing)
He will snap at her if she gets really annoying and tries
to pull his tail.

Keep with the supervision then, even though it's probably just
them getting used to each other.

She's too young to make it through the night without a pee
break (it's always at 2am).
She wakes about every 2-3 hours at which time she goes out.

At 7 weeks, that's understandable. It's great that she's
letting you know.

She now goes back to sleep pretty quickly without all the
initial yelping (10-20 minutes) that she did each time she
was put back in the crate. Unlike DH and I who frequently
are then awake for the next couple of hours! How old
before she can make it through the night?

Mine have had full night time freedom from about the 12 to 16
week point (Maybe was early, Rocky was late) but they stopped
waking me up at about the 12 week point.

Like you, I was once a bad sleeper - once awake, I couldn't
sleep again. Rocky the puppy cured me of that.
