Advice please! Kitten purrs too much?

We just brought home Ruby, a 3 month old Maine coon girl last night. We chose her over another baby boy cos she purred so much when we held her.

Back in her new room, she purrs a lot too. We have a overfriendly mini dachshund at home but he’s separated from her at this point. My husband and I take turns going into Ruby’s room to play with her but we notice she purrs A LOT.

When we’re near her, when we touch her, when she is beside us grooming herself, SHE PURRS. Like a motor running without stopping. She has warmed up to us fast - she lies down & shows her belly, allows belly rubs etc.

We are first time cat owners but know that purring might not always be a good thing.

Is there anything we should take note of? Is she happy? Or stressed that she knows there’s an extroverted dog at the door?

Please help, thank u!
