Can somebody give me an idea about whether a 12" dobsonian will allow me to see the great red spot of Jupiter.

I easily saw it in my 8" dob all the time. Viewed Jupiter for the first time over Easter with my newer 12" and it must have been on the flip side, as I couldn't spot it. Saw an amazing amount of detail in the bands though.
Just be prepared for it to be the Great Pale Tan Spot through the eyepiece
