No, Sputnik 1 was the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth, and it did not carry any animals on board. This Soviet spacecraft was launched in 1957 as part of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union.

What was size of sputnik 1 satellite?

Not sure what you're asking... technically Sputnik was a part of the Russian space program (like Apollo was part of the U.S. space program). Sputnik in Russian literally means "co-traveler" or "satellite".The program started in 1957 with Sputnik 1 (about 23 inches in diameter, weighing in at about 183 lbs). Sputnik 2was a 13' by 6.6' cone shaped capsule, large enough to carry the first living animal in space (a dog named Laika). Sputnik 3was a slightly smaller cone (11.7' x 5.6').
