A semibreve is a whole note. In 4 pattern time signature, a dotted whole note gets six beats. In an 8 pattern time signature, it would get 12 beats, but I don't think you would ever see that.

How many beats does a dotted semibreve go for?

The semibreve (UK naming convention) or whole note (US naming convention) usually has a duration of four beats, with a crochet (UK) or quarter note (US) per beat. In that case, a dotted semibreve has a duration of six beats, since a dotted note is one and a half times the duration of the basic note. Remember the "usually" though. It is quite common to count a single beat per minim (half note) in faster music, or even to count a semibreve per beat in some circumstances. In slower pieces, the music may be counted with a quaver (eight note) per beat. In any case, though, a dotted note is one and a half times the duration of the basic note.
